The signing of Abebayo Akinfenwa for Gillingham today has made their opening home fixture against Cheltenham all that little bit exciting. Former Northampton Town hit-man Akinfenwa has now been installed as one of the favourites for the top goalscorer award and joins a promising Gills side managed by former favourite and ex-Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler.
We have put all of the 12 nPower League fixtures which kick-off next weeked, through our new state-of the art mathematical system which has left us with 6 fixtures to concentrate on.
It really is exciting times here at Firefoxx HQ, currently we are now trawling through hundreds of sources. It looks like we will be releasing anything from 1-3 tips on the opening day of the season, we are already feeling extremely confident over a few.
One consideration which is taking place is title favourites Wycombe Wanderers who take on last seasons overachievers Morecambe.
Wycombe Wanderers have a strike force capable of firing them to League Two success this season, according to new frontman Ben Strevens. The 30-year-old will join Stuart Beavon, Scott Rendell and John-Paul Pittman in the Adams Park attack.
Chesterfield look short at 4/6 to beat Barnet who diced with relegation last season, however that may be an appealing price considering Barnet have not made any major moves in the transfer market and their main signing Steve Kabba has failed to convince fans that he can bag the goals needed this season.
Aldershot are best priced at 7/4 to beat Accrington Stanley away from home, whilst our focus remains on 5 home teams, Aldershot are being taken into account by our team of professionals.
Aldershot Town midfielder Glen Little believes the club can push for promotion to League One after a successful pre-season. The Shots have won all four of their friendlies so far, scoring 16 goals without conceding. The club will certainly be looking to build on their 6th place finish whilst Accrington Stanley will do well to achieve anything like last seasons mid table finish.
Crewe Alexandra are tipped as dark horses in the league this season, their attacking approach can sometimes lead to inconsistency but with an opening game of the season at home, we would expect the likes of Calvin Zola, Clayton Donaldson and Shaun Miller to give the side a great chance of claiming a home win against a Hereford United who have spent much of pre-season trialling new players.
Rotherham and Southend United are the other two clubs in our short-list of six, which will be whittled down to at least half that come Friday 6th August.
Then only one week later we welcome the start of the Blue Square Premier, Blue Square North and Blue Square South in which we have some crackers lined up there also.

An Exciting Pre-Season As We Near Blast-Off
It has been an interesting summer to say the least, whilst the World Cup gripped the nation, staff at Non League Football Tips HQ have been working hard ready for the new season. Just as football clubs seek to have the perfect preparation, this has also been something we have put into practice. We now enter our third season offering football tips for our loyal fanbase and this one is set to be the most promising yet. Our experience, knowledge and organisation has never been greater, which has been showcased by our treks across the country watching countless pre-season games, compiling reports and working on a brand new system which will aid our selections.
Currently we are working on our first batch of selections which will be in just 10 days time covering the npower League 2. This league looks like it could be a tight one this year with many teams looking to compete for promotion. It will be very important to make sure we have our information spot on, there already looks like a couple of tasty bets for the opening day of the season. We will certainly be focusing on the physcological side of things which could mean we will side with home teams. It will be interesting to see how former non league sides, Oxford United and Stevenage fair on the opening day.
There have not been a lot of clues in pre-season results, for instance relegation favourites Macclesfield have had a blinding pre-season going unbeaten. It is important to not pay too much attention to pre-season however it does help. We will be looking forward to using our new number crunching system which will help us filter out strong cases for backing.
There are a few interesting ones to look out for, one being Stockport County. The northern side who were relegated from League One last season have only added 3 players to the side that went into freefall last season. They travel to fellow relegated side Southend next weekend, however Southend have managed to make a couple of big signings even with a transfer embargo over them. That is set to be lifted as a sell-on clause of nearly half a million pounds is about to give the Essex club the chance to further strengthen and they must look a bargain 11/10 to beat almost the same group of players that they did at home last season 2-1.
Aldershot are another team to keep an eye on, whilst our mindset will be to side with the home teams on the opening day, the fact that Aldershot's pre-season has been ultra impressive and the additions to their side should give them an excellent chance for an away day win against relegation favourites Accrington Stanley.
So plenty to ponder and of course the tips won't be released until a day before the season begins, we of course will be working away making sure your selections are as solid as possible.
